Vlcek is honestly not that bad, his lectures can be hard to follow but his exams are open-note and that gave me some peace of mind when preparing for exams. You are graded by very few things but he did offer extra credit on the last homework assignment.

This professor assigns math-heavy homework for chem majors. However, during his office hours, he struggles to smoothly calculate even the second derivative when providing examples. TAs are much more helpful than him. You should take advantage if you have to take the class: he might award you an 'A' even if your grade is B if you satisfy his egotism

He seems to pretend to care about students, but in reality, it's similar to what other comments have mentioned: he takes great pleasure in tormenting students. He holds strong opinions about individual student behaviors and exhibits a drastically negative attitude, almost like insulting you if he doesn't like you: focus on making him happy.

There's a lot of negative reviews for this professor, but when the alternative professor is Bowers - widely regarded as a very mean professor - Vojtech is actually a very good prof. He cares about students a lot, and is very passionate about the material, which is nice to see. Hard exams, but as typical with chem - there will be a big curve!

Bro, no. Just no. If you didn't have A+ in calc II, you will struggle so bad. One of the HW question is to breakdown integral that will take the WHOLE DAMN PAGE. Final non-cumulative, nobody said a word about that, not TA, not VV. If you have 14+ units DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Amazing lectures offered solid fundamentals in quantum mechanics. Detailed explanations of equations and derivations clarified the physical meaning and significance of quantum theory.
